What is fraud?
Fraud is a broad term and refers to several criminal offenses. There are multiple forms of fraud. Fraud means that someone:
- intentionally presents a misleading representation of certain matters;
- does so to achieve an economic advantage in a certain way;
- has disadvantaged someone;
- acted unlawfully or illegally.

Benefits fraud

Social security fraud
Situations where a benefit is received in whole or in part based on incorrect, incomplete, or unreported data, for example regarding income, assets, or living situation.
Forgery
Suspicion of forging or using documents, such as invoices or contracts, with legal or financial consequences.
Insurance fraud
Issues surrounding insurance where the accuracy or completeness of provided information is questioned.
You become a suspect as soon as investigative authorities have concrete indications that you may have committed a criminal offense. This can occur without you noticing or being aware of it. It may become apparent through a summons for questioning, a search, a seizure of assets, or a subpoena. You can be identified as a suspect even without a subpoena.
As early as possible. Even with an initial letter, an invitation for questioning, or an ongoing investigation, timely advice can make all the difference. If you wait until you have received a summons, it may already be too late.
Depending on the case, consequences may include fines, criminal prosecution, asset seizure, reputational damage, or restrictions from banks and authorities. Early legal counsel can often mitigate these consequences.
You are not obliged to provide a substantive statement to the police. You have the right to remain silent and to seek legal advice first. What you say can have a significant impact on the further course of the case.
